Default Good effect to heart rate from pain medication

Hi,
I’m getting a twice verified serendipitous benefit from a drug prescribed for pain following oral surgery. The drug is Darvocet-N (actually the generic, Propoxy-N/APAP 100). It is sharply reducing my heart rate – which often is too high, esp. following a heart attack a year ago. It also is reducing my BP considerably in a quiet and for relatively durable way…up to 28 hours. (I take many other drugs that do not relieve pain, including morphine and celebrex and muscle relaxants).
Does anyone know why this might be happening, and whether or how I might justify a request for it from my doctors.
Tony
